Why did you remove the Firefox Hello function on version 46.0 on Mac OS for Mac OS users?

On the menu bar of Firefox 46.0 for Mac OS user, you have a bubble for Firefox Hello but no smiley face icon that is normally seen to use Firefox Hello. Also the bubble Icon is gray and not black indicating that that function is not used or not available for Mac OS users on the Mac OS 46.0 version. It also seems that many of the windows functions that you have for Firefox is not available for Mac OS users.

hi, support for firefox hello was not removed from os x - if you don't see the icon, you may be in private browsing mode: Where is the Firefox Hello button? i'm not sure which other non-descript features you were refering to you may be missing on os x either...

IF you update to version 46.0.1 I believe there was a patch for Firefox Hello.

Current Firefox releases come with some built-in extensions that are installed in the browser/features folder.

  • e10srollout: e10srollout@mozilla.org
  • loop: loop@mozilla.org
  • pocket: firefox@getpocket.com

I'm not seeing these listed in the System Details list next to your question.

Do you see them om the about:addons page?
